PC welcomes new probation officer

By Dave Cook

news@putnamcountyrecord.com

HENNEPIN — The Putnam County Board welcomed Patricia Hohulin as the county’s new probation officer at its meeting Tuesday, Oct. 13.

Hohulin was most recently a drug and alcohol counselor at Logan Correctional Center in Lincoln, Ill. Previous to that she was a probation officer in Travis County, Texas.

Chauntelle Biagi-Bruer, assistant coordinator with the Putnam County Emergency Management Office, shared the results of the recent full scale emergency drill which took place on Sept. 20.

“We’re very good at communicating here in Putnam County within our different agencies, but when you cross over (into different counties) you’re dealing with different radio frequencies, so we’re working on that. It was a good experience because it was really the first time the communications room at our building was used. Our equipment performed well,”

said Biagi-Bruer.

In other board meeting news: • Discussion continued about the purchase of the new truck for the highway department.

• Biagi-Bruer and Tiffany Moodie discussed the progress of the Stronger Economies Together civic forums and the next stages and expected benefits of the program.

• Board members discussed the proper procedures and legalities of the board authorizing and funding financial donations.

Protection within the pursuit Hunters share tips on how to stay safe during hunting season

By Eric Engel

news@putnamcountyrecord.com

A hunter’s rules for the open range: Nature is a cunning creature, make no mistake.

While waiting in your tree stand, always stay awake.

In case you don’t, ensure your security harness doesn’t break.

Practice constant firearm safety, for goodness sake.

And most importantly, there are some shots you just simply cannot take.

Hunting is one of the Midwest’s eldest outdoor activities, and many citizens fill their bellies through the winter off the game they conquer in the fall. For being such a popular activity, hunting is obviously accompanied by elements of danger due to the explosive instruments responsible for all the mounted antlers above the fireplace.

Scott Wright, a conservation police officer for the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, said the No. 1 hunting accident is falling from a tree stand, and using a quality tree stand and a safety harness will benefit even the most experienced hunters.

Kyle Harmon, an avid hunter from Tiskilwa, said a hunter shouldn’t leave their tree stand out all year, as the cables and straps go bad from weather or animal wear.

HENNEPIN — Shortly after the beginning of the school year, the fifth-grade students of Putnam County Elementary School commenced work on a project with master gardeners from the University of Illinois Extension office. On Wednesday, Oct. 14, the students and gardeners gathered one last time to complete their project, discuss what they’ve learned and appreciate the bounty of their work.

During the first week, the gardeners came to the school and taught the stu-

dents how to prepare and plant a small, cool weather box garden. Under the guidance of award winning master gardeners Barb Dahlbach, Sharon Gallup and Patty Ong, students prepared the soil, organized the rows and planted the seeds of a future salad which all would enjoy.

“I really liked the day when we worked the soil and planted the seeds. I’m looking forward to eating the radishes,” said PCR photo/Dave cook student Josh Jessen.

are also practical tactics to follow.

“A good safety vest takes two minutes to put on, and it can be a little uncomfortable, but it beats hitting the dirt from 22 feet up,” Harmon said.

Cynthia Brewer, volunteer services coordinator at the Hennepin Canal, encouraged everyone to take a hunting safety class regularly to stay updated on safety techniques, and she reiterated the importance of being attached at all times when setting up the tree stand and taking down equipment.

Wright said to always carry a phone that is accessible in case of an emergency and inform someone where you are going and when you are expecting to return.

Also, wear a blaze orange hat while on the ground because “it’s your head you’re trying to protect.”

Concerning the hardware that defines the sport of hunting, Wright said always follow the major firearm rules, and treat every weapon as if

it’s loaded, even when it’s not.

“Never point your weapon at something you don’t want to destroy,” said Wright, who has come across a handful of fatal hunting accidents after 25 years on the job, each one of them a tragic misfortune that likely could have been avoided.

Harmon said if you are hunting with others, know where everyone is, and listen to common sense in avoiding ever shooting at housing or property.

He added don’t shoot at sounds if you hear something in a thick patch of brush because it’s not necessarily an animal.

“You can only shoot in certain directions. Even if you see a deer up on a hill, you can’t take that shot because you don’t know what’s behind that hill,” Harmon said, instructing hunters to keep their weapons clean and their gear in good shape. “A lot can go wrong, even when you’re doing everything the way you are supposed to.”

Brewer noted water fowl hunters should never overload their

Making the puzzle pieces fit Freedom House, IVCC team up for domestic violence awareness ​By Goldie Rapp

news@putnamcountyrecord.com

PRINCETON — Freedom House teamed up with Illinois Valley Community College’s theatre improv group this year for the annual domestic violence awareness program.

The group, which is under the direction of professor David Kuester, performed in Princeton on Wednesday, Oct. 14, at the Elks Lodge.

The production focused on the struggles and hoops many of the domestic violence victims have to jump through in order to get needed assistance once they leave an abusive relationship.

The actors targeted the agencies who provide assistance, and called out examples of the barriers women face when trying to seek help.

Following the performance, Freedom House shelter advocate Amber Killian spoke more about the real hurdles her clients face each day. She gave real-life examples of women in the shelter who struggled with maintaining a stable life after leaving an abusive relationship.

“There are many barriers women face once they leave,” she said, adding it could be from friends or family creating mental barriers; or the police creating barriers

As the fifth-grade students of Putnam County Elementary took turns harvesting the different vegetables, they completed the cycle of From Seeds to Harvest.

Garden From Page 1 of the garden and to continue to teach them the fundamentals of gardening, such as weed identification and any other problems which can be encountered. Students were responsible for the garden’s daily watering and care.

“I think it’s been a good experience, it’s a life skill. The students really got into it and enjoyed it. They’ve told me it’s not only been fun, but that they’ve learned a lot,” said teacher Josie Hall.

With the inevitable arrival of frost close at hand, the gardeners timed the planting of the garden perfectly. By the sixth week, the garden was lush, healthy and ready to be harvested. Students rotated through different lines, each getting to gather the different vegetables which would soon be combined into a fresh and fragrant salad.

“My favorite part was harvesting, and I’ve learned you have to be careful while weeding because you can pull a vegetable instead of a weed and we had a lot of weeds,” said student Rihley Faletti.

After the harvesting, the vegetables were washed by the gardeners and then rated by the class. The master gardeners then prepared a salad for each student, and the class enjoyed their harvest together, completing the cycle of seeds-to-harvest.

“I’m so impressed with the work these students have done and how knowledgeable they’ve become. We’re all very proud of them,” said Dahlbach.

Mary Kay Foundation awards Freedom House $20,000 grant

PRINCETON — Freedom House, an agency that offers women fleeing from domestic violence safe shelter, has received a $20,000 grant from The Mary Kay Foundation.

In advance of Domestic Violence Awareness Month in October, the foundation has awarded $20,000 in grants to 150 domestic violence shelters in all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico for a total of $3 million.

While more than half of the grant recipients use the unrestricted funds for basic operating expenses, others hire much needed personnel, complete repairs and facility renovations or add programs and resources based on the unique needs of their shelter and the clients they serve. Freedom House will use the grant funding to provide critical support for its operating expenses.

by saying it’s his word against hers; it could be no readily transportation available to get to work; or no childcare available for a single mother trying to keep her job.

“Even shelters create barriers. Sometimes we are full.

Some shelters you still can’t bring a boy over the age of 13 into. Fortunately, Freedom House fixed that barrier,” she added.

“Community assistance has been wonderful, but sometimes we do create unknowing barriers ... My hope today is that everyone here explores who we are as a community and how we may be unknowingly creating barriers in the continuum of care and services these women are seeking when trying to leave.”

Killian asked attendees to remember when a woman is trying to jump through the hoops, most times she’s also dealing with mental and verbal abuse for her abuser. She said statistics show a woman will go back to her abuser seven times before she is successful in leaving for good.

Part of an abuser’s goal is to create an environment that will block a victim from succeeding, Killian added.

“I know we can’t change policies and procedures or societal attitudes or funding issues today, but my hope is that you bring the discussion back to your table and explore what piece of the puzzle is yours and how you can make it best fit for these families,” she said.

Mautino works to crack down on violence against service members SPRING VALLEY — Convicted criminals who purposely target uniformed members of the military would face tougher prison sentences under legislation backed by state Rep. Frank Mautino to classify intentional attacks against members of the armed forces as hate crimes.

“Men and women serving our country should not have to fear being attacked because of the uniform they wear,” Mautino said. “We must work to prevent a tragedy like Chattanooga suffered this summer from occurring in Illinois, and if the unthinkable happens, make sure those responsible get the punishment they deserve.”

Mautino is co-sponsoring House Bill 4308 to increase penalties against those who attack uniformed military personnel and veterans wearing symbols identifying their service. Under the bill, targeting individuals for crimes because they wear military uniforms would

be considered an aggravating factor by courts during sentencing. The legislation comes in response to the deadly shooting in Chattanooga, Tenn., in July at two military centers that left four U.S. Marines and a Navy sailor dead.

Under current Illinois law, hate crime designations are extended to persons based on actual or perceived race, color, creed, religion, ancestry, gender, sexual orientation, physical or mental disability, or national origin. If Mautino’s bill becomes law, those convicted of committing hate crimes against service members or veterans would face up to three years in prison.

“This legislation sends a message that we will not tolerate targeted and hate-filled violence against our military,” Mautino said. “Prosecutors would have the ability to put away criminals who attack service members and veterans for a longer period of time and help prevent further tragedies from taking place.”

Rezin legislation to keep two ICCB programs SPRINGFIELD — State Sen. Sue Rezin (R-Peru) filed legislation that would keep two Illinois Community College Board (ICCB) programs going during the state’s budget impasse.

Senate Bill 2188, filed this week, appropriates $18.5 million in federal funds for career and technical education and $24.5 million in federal funds for adult education.

If passed and signed into law, ICCB would then have the authority to spend these federal dollars on the programs.

“Without this piece

of legislation, these two programs are in danger of shutting down,” Sen. Rezin said. “This will keep the career and technical education and adult education programs afloat until the programs can receive all of the funding they deserve through the passage of a balanced budget, something that needs to happen as soon as possible.”

Rezin spoke to leaders at Joliet Junior College during a recent state hearing on higher education on their campus. Rezin says these programs are two very critical pressure

points higher education is facing right now.

“Earlier this summer, the legislature passed a federal spending bill with bipartisan support, so I am confident we can get this legislation passed very soon,” Rezin said.

“The entire situation, however, underscores the importance of passing a balanced budget for our state, one that makes fundamental reforms to state government and one that will help create jobs, boost the state’s economy, and put our state on a path of good fiscal policy.”

Sen. Rezin is hopeful

this legislation remains a stand-alone bill during the legislative process to allow these federal dollars to be passed through to the ICCB. The Illinois House/Senate returned Oct. 20.

OTTAWA — Betty J. Barnard, 87, formerly of Granville, died Thursday, Oct. 15, 2015, at the Ottawa Pavilion in Ottawa.

Betty was born March 9, 1928, in Marshall County to Charles and Bertha (Redding) Russell at the family home. She was the youngest of six children, William, Freda, Ernest, Milan and Chester.

She left home at age 22 and moved to Peru, and worked for Sears, until her marriage to James E. Barnard of Granville. They were Betty Barnard married May 30, 1952, in Peru at the Congregational Church, where Dr. Richard Morgan was pastor.

They had a three-day honeymoon in Chicago.

Betty was quite a person. She enjoyed her family weekly visits. She was for a short time a member of the Eastern Star in Tonica, but never socialized too much.

She worked day by day with her husband in the fields.

She attended to all the corn drying by herself.

She and her husband met at the Marshall–Putnam County Fair and had three sons and two daughters, Frank Barnard, Roger Barnard, Linda Barnard, Sarah Barnard and Charles Barnard, all living within five miles of each other except for Sarah, who lives in Naperville.

She is also survived by her husband; and seven grandchildren, Roger, Rebecca, Jeremy, Benjamin and Chase Barnard of the Granville area, and Alexander and Andrew Malooley of Naperville; and two great-grandchildren, Holton Barnard and Roger Michael Barnard.

Betty has been in failing health for the past several years from two strokes and two bad falls shattering three vertebrae.

In retirement they moved to Cape Coral, Fla., and made furniture and were involved in refinishing antiques and selling them.

She was preceded in death by their first son, Frank; her parents; and one sister and three brothers. She has one brother, Chester, that is living in Henry.

Online condolences may be made to her family at www.dcfunerals.com.

Having it all ...

I had a conversation the other day with someone about my age. Somehow we took a stroll down Memory Lane, and I listened to her tell me all the things she did without as a child. I understood her journey, and I jumped in there too, telling her all the things I wanted but never had.

Don’t misunderstand. I always had what I needed. There was always a roof over my head. I always had a meal on the table. I always had clothes on my back.

What we didn’t have were the frills.

That word — “frills” — doesn’t mean Terri Simon today what it meant back then. I know that, but even so, I knew as a child that there were some things missing. I’m not complaining at all ... for back then, it was just a given that some things were never going to be part of our world.

Piano lessons. Yes, we had a piano. To this day, I have no idea why that piano sat in a room off of our living room, but nevertheless, it was there. Some of the keys didn’t work. Some of the ivory on those keys was missing or chipped. I also have to believe that old piano was never tuned, and I know it was only dusted occasionally. But it was there, so every once in a while, one of us would sit down and pretend to play. While my “city friends” spoke of piano lessons and hours of practice time, my little fingers would never know about such a luxury.

Steak. Living on a farm, it only made sense that at least one of those Angus cows in the pasture would end up in our freezer. The same went for the hogs and the chickens — even though the concept of raising cattle/hogs/chickens never occurred to this little farm girl that they would end up on our dinner table. I was an adult before that realization ever hit me, which is kind of sad. Nevertheless, I don’t ever remember anything on our table other than hamburger, chicken and an occasional pork chop. I do remember the adults in my house attempting to pass off liver as steak to us kids, but a real steak? It never happened. I was an adult before I knew there was such a thing as steak, prime rib or brisket.

A new car. New cars were a luxury of which we never participated either. Grandpa drove the old green Chevy until it came to a screeching halt forever, only to buy another older model car that was just as embarrassing to us kids. While we did get “new” cars, they were actually used vehicles that were “new” to us, and never were they the bright, shiny models driven by my friends’ parents.

A new home. I spent many overnights in friends’ homes that were recently built and had all the bells and whistles of a lifestyle that offered more financial resources than a farmer’s home would ever hold ... a dishwasher, a garbage disposal, garage doors that opened all by themselves, fancy appliances, etc. In our home, anyone who was of school age was the dishwasher; the hogs were our garbage disposal; the garage doors never opened by themselves; and the same appliances sat in our kitchen throughout my entire childhood.

Designer clothes/shoes. If it didn’t come from Sears Roebuck or J.C. Penney, we didn’t have it. Oh sure, there were a few items purchased locally, but by and large, the only new clothes we got happened when school started, plus new Easter dresses and shoes which we always hated.

OK ... enough! Plain and simple, we didn’t have it all, but plain and simple. we did have it all. You see, we came home every night to a family who loved us, who cared for us, who would have gone hungry and cold to make sure we weren’t. There was laughter.

There were hugs and kisses. There were lessons of right and wrong and responsibility. As I look back as an adult, I don’t think I could have asked for more ...

I know a ton of people who still begrudge the material things they didn’t have as a child. But someday we have to grow up and thank our lucky stars for the things we did have ... those things that really mattered. Who knows? I might have been one of the richest kids around ...

Saying goodbye to your loved pet is a very hard thing to do. Randy and Joann Steffens had to put their loved Shelly, a border collie dog, to sleep by a veterinarian at their home in Mark.

She was still alert and walked around, but could not go potty anymore, and could not help from dribbling all over. Shelly was 12 years old in January. Joann said she was a great part of their family all those years.

She said they moved five years ago to their new home with Shelly.

Shelly was upset with the move, and showed her unhappiness by chewing on the wood in the new home.

Randy took her back to the farm and left her there. After three days, when Jo went to visit Shelly at the farm, she jumped into the car and was happy to be in her new home and did not chew on the wood anymore.

Shelly never liked the leash, so she was never on a leash. She always stayed in her own yard, and the neighbors always liked her. She did not like other dogs because Joann said she thinks she is a person. She loved to ride in the truck with Randy. She always sat and waited for Randy to come home from work. Randy and Jo got her from a dairy farm north of Freeport.

Joann said her first dog died at 17 years of age. Her next dog was Patches. She got her after Grant was in first grade. She died when Grant was a sophomore in college.

All three dogs are buried on the farm. When Patches died it was winter and the ground was frozen.

Their neighbor, Mike Pletch, helped Randy bury her. Randy thanked Mike for helping him, and told

Darrell Alleman COMMENTARY Mike, “When your dog dies, I’ll help you.” Mike said, “My dog is okay, but our horse is not doing very good.”

Jo said, “Everybody has a story about their pet, and this is our last dog.”

Any family or person that has lost their pet dog feels like they lost one of the family. In a family’s lifetime they will lose several of their pets.

They say a 12-year-old dog is like a 90-year-old person.

In my own lifetime, I have lost several dogs I loved. The first was Cindy. He was the family dog when I was born. My cousin, Allen Smith, and I lived about 80 rods apart.

When I was 9 years old we were riding our ponies from my place to Allen’s. When we turned into Allen’s drive, a car sped past and hit Cindy who had followed us. I rode and got my father to help Cindy. When we got back there, Cindy had died. My dad buried him in the field next to a corner. Still after all these years, I look at the spot where Cindy is buried.

We had a white collie, Pal, who was a real pal to me. The first year, 1951, that Jeanne and I were married, we bought a male boxer dog from Ted Lambert and his wife.

Ted had been in the service in Germany, and when they returned to the states, they brought a pregnant female from Germany and had a son who we named Hugo. He and I

became close. It seemed he always knew what I was thinking.

After one year in Tonica, Jeanne, Hugo and I moved to a 20-acre farm a mile north of Granville on the east side of the road across All Forks Creek. We lived four years there, then we moved to Vick Hartman’s farm with Jeanne, Debby, Kim and Hugo. I had bought a 1936 Ford half ton pickup at this time.

Hugo went everywhere in this truck with me. I remember driving down McCoy Street in Granville with Hugo in the ‘36 truck. He sat beside me watching everything. If there was a person walking on the sidewalk, I would turn my head to look at that person. Hugo did the same as I did. When I would get up at midnight to drive Hansie Sandberg’s semi truck to Chicago for beer or groceries, I would go down to the basement to put a couple of large chunks of coal in the furnace before I left.

Hugo would be sleeping by the furnace on a blanket. He would give me a sad look then close his eyes.

We had others dog who we loved and lost, like all of you who have had dogs. Thanks for reading.

Considerations by Nedda One of Linda Ellerbee’s 5 Rules for Living is: The best things in life aren’t things. If we have been urged to get rid of our accumulated “stuff,” by friends, relatives or necessity, this may help by remembering this. I have talked about this before. People just keep bringing it up to me again and again.

There are TV shows about hoarding. We have organizing specialists making money on what to throw away or keep, and even celebrities like Oprah and Gayle King are publishing their closet cleanings.

I guess the least we all can do is look at what we are keeping, storing, dusting and continually moving around.

Maybe we think we can remember the memories better if we keep the rock from the Grand Canyon. Maybe we think we are being disrespectful if we give Mom’s colander or tea pot to the resale store.

Nedda Simon COMMENTARY Or, I wonder if my stuff will be appreciated if I give it away. The worst scene to consider is that I don’t care about the item or the friend who gave it to me as much as I should.

Let’s have a reality check here. We are going to leave this place one way or another, and someone is going to have to sell, give away or trash this stuff, and that means someone who we loved and treasured.

Frankly I don’t want my loved one to have to go through that.

Let’s start by asking loved ones and friends what they would like to have of ours and become very critical about what we are saving. Could someone use the colander when I

haven’t used it for months or years?

Would a school, museum or library use some historical items? (Ask the director or someone associated with the organization if they want the items first.)

Take your time and do it with love of yourself. Be kind to yourself, but be realistic about your present living circumstances and consider how tiring all this “keeping” can be.

Have someone help you, and I have said this before, listen to others.

(Ahem. We can be kind of stubborn, you know.) I feel as if I am talking to you all as friends, so it does seem pretty straight!

We are in for some lovely weather now, and I hope you all can enjoy it.

And don’t forget to be kind to yourselves and others.

Budget stalemate impacts motorists Sticker check saves a ticket Vehicle registration renewal reminders won’t be mailed anymore because of state budget woes, so it’s up to motorists to keep track of when their stickers expire. Doing so helps save the state money and saves you from a ticket.

Famed pioneer aviator Charles Lindbergh (1902-1974) was said to have treated his cars like his airplanes. Before leaving on a trip, he walked around the vehicle, inspected the tires, checked under the hood, and made sure all was well.

Illinois motorists won’t have to be quite so meticulous, in the wake of an announcement by the Secretary of State Jesse White’s

office that it can’t afford to mail registration renewal notices anymore because of the budget impasse.

But in the near future, drivers should at least walk around to the back of their vehicles, stoop down and read the colored sticker to find out the month and year the registration expires.

Then make a note of it, so you remember to go to the Secretary of State facility nearest you to buy a new sticker before the old one expires.

That will not only prevent you from getting pulled over by the police for an expired registration, but it will help White’s office con-

serve $450,000 a month in postage so it at least can keep mailing out new license plates as the budget stalemate continues.

White recently announced other financial constraints on his office; vendors such as electricity, computer, software, and armored truck companies may cease services if they don’t get paid soon.

It’s one more reminder of the dire financial straits our state is in.

When will legislators and the governor reach a budget agreement? No one knows.

But if motorists follow Lucky Lindy’s example, at least they can save themselves a ticket.

12 • The Putnam County Record • Wednesday, October 21, 2015

Princeton DAR chapter celebrates 125 years IVCC performance on PRINCETON — The Princeton-Illinois chapter of the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution met Oct. 2 at the Prouty Building and celebrated the 125th birthday of the National Society, founded on Oct. 11, 1890.

The chapter’s Celebrate 125!

Commemoration project was to collect 125 items for the Bureau County Food Pantry. The collection went well over 125 items. A total of 210 pounds of food and paper items were donated.

The Oct. 2 meeting was called to order by Regent Diana Williamson, who shared a binder of awards received by the chapter at the 2015 state convention.

Vietnam Commemoration Chairman Beverly Larson announced that there will be a display for Veterans Day at the Princeton Library.

The brother of a chapter member and Korean War-era veteran will participate in Honor Flight from Moline in late October. Visits to monuments in Washington, D.C., will be enjoyed by the Honor Flight group. The Princeton-Illinois chapter donates to Honor Flight annually.

Darius Miller Park is being renovated so the chapter’s conservation project of clean-up there each month is on hiatus.

The chapter voted to donate a U.S. flag to the new Hall High School and will also present a U.S. flag to the lodge at Starved Rock State Park in a ceremony on Saturday, Nov. 7, with participation by State Regent Sharon Frizzell and Illinois Flag of the U.S.A. chairman Catherine Humphrey.

On Saturday, Oct. 10, chapter

members attended the District II meeting in LaSalle, presided over by chapter member and District II Director Sharon Bittner. Following the meeting, District II members traveled to the LaSalle Veterans Home to deliver donations and to play bingo with the veterans.

The Oct. 2 program involving all members was “125 Memories of DAR.” Members shared their favorite memories involving their membership in the Princeton-Illinois chapter, Illinois State Society and the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution.

The next meeting will be a joint meeting with Illini Chapter from Ottawa on Saturday, Nov. 7, at the Lock 16 Café in LaSalle with guest speaker State Regent Sharon Frizzell. Attendees should arrive by 10 a.m. for registration.

Driver safety class will be Nov. 3 and 4 OGLESBY — An AARP Driver Safety Program will be presented Tuesday, Nov. 3, and Wednesday, Nov. 4, at the Illinois Valley Community Center Driver Training Center, Building H on east campus, with parking in Lot 7.

The classroom driver refresher course is designed especially for drivers age 50 and over.

The program aims to help community members retain their driving competency. Participants will learn driving strategies, understand the effects of aging on driving, reduce the chance of having an accident and know when to retire from driving.

At the completion of this course, students will receive a certificate

that can be presented to their automobile insurance holder that may entitle them to a discount. There is a $15 fee for AARP members (with AARP membership card) and a $20 fee for non-members, payable at the class. Participants should arrive 15 minutes early for the first day of class.

To register, call 815-224-0427.

Oct. 27 will focus on domestic violence

OGLESBY — The IVCC Theatre Department launched an important performance this October for Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

Under the direction of theatre instructor David Kuester, the cast’s presentation tackles issues of domestic violence, specifically how a victim must jump through many hoops to get the help they need once they make the decision to get out of a violent situation.

The performance depicts a victim jumping through agency hoops in a circus-like scene and being tied up with red tape.

The cast will perform in five counties for various shelters, help agencies and government agencies.

“It’s one of those rare opportunities where the performing arts becomes a teaching tool, and we are honored to have been chosen by Freedom House of Princeton to take this

message to the agencies gathered at each performance,” Kuester said.

“We’re also grateful for the grant from the state to produce this important presentation, and we’re humbled our theatre department was chosen to create and perform the sobering message,” he added.

Staging is by Don Grant Zellmer, with additional staging by Matt Boehm.

The cast includes students, faculty and community members: Kimberly Burrow, Yvette Lucas and Karen Faith Foltz-Lesman of LaSalle, Zach Scarbrough of Bureau, Jake Jakielski and Reilly Jaeger of Marseilles, Ashley Hurst of Peru, and Zellmer and Boehm.

A public IVCC performance and follow-up discussion led by representatives from Freedom House will be at 4 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 27, in the Cultural Centre.

County estimates survey begins in October SPRINGFIELD — Producers of row crops and hay will soon be receiving a questionnaire designed to collect data that will be used in estimating county level yields for 2015.

The National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) will begin mailing these forms in the middle of October to more than 8,500 producers across the state of Illinois.

“We’ve been forecasting state-level yields since Aug. 12 and now we are beginning to gather the data needed for county level estimates,” said Mark Schleusener, Illinois state statistician. “The results can have a

direct impact farmers and ranchers around the state. For example, the USDA’s Risk Management Agency relies on survey results to determine when to make crop loss insurance payments. In addition, USDA’s Farm Service Agency uses the data in its disaster assistance program calculations. With recent flooding across the state, these data are critical to the agriculture industry.”

“As required by federal law, all responses are completely confidential,” Schleusener continued. “We safeguard the privacy of all respondents, ensuring that no individual operation or producer can be iden-

tified. Individual responses are also exempt from the Freedom of Information Act.” “Many producers respond by mail and also on our secure website. After a while, we will begin contacting producers on the phone to ensure adequate response rates in as many counties as possible. Because the sample size is so large, we will be continuing data collection in to January of 2016. Results for corn and soybeans will be published in February 2016.”

For more information, call the NASS Heartland Regional Field Office at 800-551-1014.

‘Tales of Terror!’ at IVCC OGLESBY — Illinois Valley Community College’s theatre department will present “Tales of Terror!” at 8 p.m. Friday, Oct. 30, in the Cultural Centre.

Under direction of Don Grant Zellmer, “Tales of Terror!” is an evening of urban legends and classic horror stories brought to life by the cast of storytellers made up of students, faculty, staff and community members.

“We’ve incorporated all the best elements of storytelling, and created a terrifying and spooky atmosphere with mood lighting, fog, blacklights and sound effects,” Zellmer said. “All this brings the storyteller’s tales to life even more, and also makes this a theatrical event – perfect for the witching season.”

In addition to the individual ghost and horror stories, the cast performs unsettling group segments, such as two-sentence horror stories. “And yes,” added Zellmer, “for one performance piece, we’re using an actual coffin.”

Local professional storyteller Tricia Kelly has been working with IVCC students on their storytelling craft and will bring her brand of eerie story-

telling to the stage with the cast.

“We are honored to work with Tricia and are grateful to have the opportunity for our students to learn this art form,” said theatre director David Kuester.

The IVCC Show Choir will perform throughout the show under the direction and choreography of Zellmer. They dance as zombies in “Thriller” and glow-in-the-dark ghosts in a novelty number, but a new segment has been added this season, “Canivale Macabre,” a vintage freak show that segues into the terrifying showcase of the oddities and finishes with a crazed clown segment.

The cast includes Karen Lesman and Megan Norlin of LaSalle, Ashley Hurst and Matt Boehm of Peru, Jake Jakielski, Reilly Jaeger and Hillari Behrens of Marseilles, Chelsea Berg of Lostant, Clarissa Gerrard of Dalzell, Kerry Ryan of Princeton, Savanna Sondgeroth of Mendota, and Jay Church and Zach Scarbrough of Bureau.

Admission is $5 or free for IVCC students. Tickets can be purchased online at www.ivcc.edu/theatre or at the door.
